We girls in the "tall club" are sincerely trying to be sympathetic. Really we are. However, consider our plight... woot appears to only be offering us two style of capris: traditional short capris and some funny flaired fashion statement. It's probably how the capri style started... regular pants on long legs. ;-D At least you can have pants if you're willing to hem them. We're completely out of luck most of the time. Sigh.

I've noticed that some people list all their woot purchases in their signature. Me? No way, no how. I don't even want to acknowledge to myself, much less anyone else, just how much $$ I've spent on woot crap since 2006.

I can relate. Unless a pant leg is 100% straight (which few are, even if labeled as such), they look silly when a chunk of the bottom is taken off because they totally lose their "line", so hemming isn't always an option. (and is a big pain & I refuse to pay for tailoring)

If it helps, these capris will probably look like a Star-Trek- rejected crop on me.

For the kneeless in the group I'm sure Woot would be willing to make a reasonable accomodation; if not then I'm sure we can get Congress to pass the "fair Wooting act" as they don't seem to be busy doing anything else useful.

These would fall in the category of yoga or working out, rather than just pure running. Could you? Sure. But there are products out there that are designed specifically for running, and these are more active in general. (or grocery shopping and looking like you just killed a workout)

LOL. I'm 5'7" but can't wear regulars, which just too short. 32" is perfect for me, so I might have a winner with the pants. I've been buying the Champion brand in "Long" at Target, but they're $27.99. I believe they're 33" and are a tad bit long for my liking. I think I'll have to give these a shot...

After a licensing process is established where its determined you are under a certain weight, don't have thunder thighs, and don't have a gut. Because similar to spandex....its a privileged, not a right.
Sadly I wouldn't get a license. I would not be allowed within 100 yards of such a product.

Although there was a small issue with sizing, I think we should all be greatful that Woot! finally sold sports wear just for us! It may be one item, but IMO it is still a step towards the right direction!
